Bird Flu Irony?

Is it only me that notices the irony that the UK health authorities were one day into an exercise to combat a Bird Flu outbreak, when we discover the first case of Bird Flu in the UK?

Hopefully, it’s not a case that a reporter has caught wind of the exercise and thought it was real!

I can imagine the first phone call: “Dave, we’ve got a case here in Fyfe.” “Bloody hell, this exercise is testing us to the limit, Tim.” “No, Dave. This one should be treated as real.” “Yeah, I know, we should do that with all exercises.” “No, Dave. This one is real….” “Yeah, very funny”….
